Pilkington UK: "It's an exciting time to take this new post, with the glass industry set to play a transformative role in an age of decarbonisation. We've undertaken the world's first trials in powering a glass furnace with hydrogen at our base in St Helens to help improve our carbon impact within supply chains, while simultaneously delivering the materials that will enable better energy performance in the built environment." said Neil Syder, incoming managing director
Senior Architectural Systems: A key part of the building’s overall design is the strategic use of daylighting and the seamless connection between the different areas which include football pitches, a gym, conferencing and event spaces, and a café. This has been achieved through the use of Senior’s SF52 aluminium curtain wall to both main elevations
profine UK : "I’m delighted that Kevin has decided to return to the profine and KÖMMERLING family. We worked together in the past for over 8 successful years and are already putting a new and expanded sales team together, news of which will be announced in the next few weeks and months." Added: Robert Thiroff, managing director
Edgetech: "We know that consumers are increasingly concerned about energy efficiency and looking for ways to live more sustainably. Research from GlobalData suggests that four in ten consumers now bear the environment in mind when purchasing items, and in the years ahead, that’s only going to increase." Head of Marketing Charlotte Hawkes comments.
profine UK: "Security is one of the key elements that we know is very important to all our customers in relation to our product range. Since 1913, Blairs have continued to build on its reputation for high quality products that are secure as well as long lasting. Our investment to become Secured by Design accredited further strengthens our reputation and prominence in the Scottish window and door industry." Commented; Alex Gray, Managing Director of Blairs
Granada Secondary Glazing: "The response we've had to the new range has been fantastic, and it's great to see this now fully reflected in our sales figures. We worked incredibly hard to put together a revitalised suite of products that offered our customers a sleek and stylish secondary glazing solution. We look forward to many more record-breaking months in the near future." said Zoe Grafton, trade sales manager
Window maker's history revealed
Windows often provide a view into history but, sometimes, they tell their own story. This is the case with a stained glass window on the staircase at the Royal Forest Hotel in Chingford, Essex. Depicting Queen Elizabeth I and her court taking part in the famous Epping Hunt, one panel reveals an intriguing connection with Steel Window Association member, Govette Windows.
The link was made by Arthur Johnson who was researching the hotel's history and noticed a panel stating: This window received extensive damage during World War Two and was restored in 1948 by The Govette Glazing Co. Battersea. Arthur subsequently contacted Govette Windows to find out about any relationship with the present company.…»
